If you prioritize sound quality and a more immersive listening experience, especially for music, the Beyerdynamic 770 Pro offers superior audio performance. However, these are wired, over-ear headphones, less practical for exercise or travel compared to the Creative Labs Outlier Pro, which are wireless earbuds with active noise canceling and a much longer battery life, making them better suited for outdoor use or commuting. The Outlier Pro also supports wireless charging and has a built-in microphone for calls or meetings. Consider the Outlier Pro if convenience and modern features like sweat resistance are important, but choose the 770 Pro for a premium audio experience at a higher price. Give Feedback
